| Obverse description | Arnold Machin's second portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, depicted as a right-facing draped bust wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' arcs along the upper left periphery, while 'FIJI' and the date appear along the right field. The portrait is rendered in high relief with fine detail in the hair and crown, characteristic of Machin's mature sculptural style. |
